Since starting to use AppGameKit I keep finding that certain commands have been deprecated. Is there a definitive list of these commands anywhere so that I can avoid using them?

Searching Whats New (build notes) in the Help Files for "deprecated":

Build 2017.05.15


Build 2.0.20 (29th Jun 2016)
  • Old Music commands are now deprecated in favour of the OGG music commands
  • > Note that part reading: "On HTML5 the old music commands have better performance than the newer commands."


Build 2.0.17 (24th Feb 2016)


note that "Deprecated" doesn't mean they absolutely won't work but are no longer supported or guaranteed to do so. IE, best to avoid them but, personally, i've had no issue with OGG vs HTML, for example, tho i don't do heavy testing on multiple devices, browsers, etc..

hope that helps.

EnableClearColor() deprecated in Studio (only)
Studio Help wrote: "

Description
This command is deprecated, you can choose to clear by using ClearScreen or not.

If you wish to maintain the contents of a previous rendered image then you should render to a new image and apply the previously rendered image to a quad to draw it as a background. You can then swap the images in the next frame to continuously render the previous frame as a background to the current frame."
